I think it's news when a serious presidential contender speaks critically and, arguably, offensively about a major player in the cultural melting pot. It was news when Bill Clinton dressed down Sister Souljah. It was news when Ross Perot said "You people." It was news when all the Republicans said they didn't believe in evolution, and it would have been news at the time if we'd been privy to Nixon talking about getting the Big Jews on board.
